VA Sets Record: Most Claims Processed in Single Year
Today, in a resounding victory for America’s heroes, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced they have processed a record 2.5 million ratings claims so far in fiscal year 2025 – another milestone in eliminating the massive backlog inherited from the Biden Administration. This extraordinary progress, highlighted by a 37% reduction in pending claims since President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, demonstrates the Trump Administration’s unwavering commitment to deliver swift, efficient benefits to our nation’s heroes.
From the VA:
“In fiscal year 2024, VA processed a total of 2,517,519 ratings claims, and this year the department reached an all-time high of 2,524,115 ratings claims issued Aug. 8 – nearly two months before the end of FY25.
The milestone is the latest in a string of noteworthy VA claims processing achievements. Since President Trump was inaugurated Jan. 20, the backlog of Veterans waiting for VA benefits has dropped by more than 37%, after rising 24% during the Biden Administration.
In July, VA completed more than 300,000 ratings claims in a single month for the first time ever. VA is processing claims faster in FY25 than in FY24, completing them 17.8% faster even as receipts are 10% higher than this time last year.”
